Quote:No. 8 Florida State (42-10, 18-9) and No. 9 NC State (39-13, 16-10) are in the midst of fighting to try and win the ACC Atlantic Division while also trying to secure one of the eight national seeds for the NCAA Tournament. At times, both teams looked great against each other while also looking almost poorly at other times. In the end, Florida State took two of three from NC State to remain in the lead of the division and have control of their own destiny entering the last regular season weekend.

Importance of the Series

Entering the series, Florida State held a half game lead over NC State with six ACC games remaining. Three games against the Wolfpack and three games against Clemson who was a close third in the Atlantic Division. Now looking at the standings, FSU still holds their own destiny after winning two of three at NC State, but they still face a tougher test than the Pack.
